4.2.1. Water Framework Directive

According to the implementation of the WFD, 621 surface water bodies are still failing to achieve good chemical status in the second RBMPs due to pesticides, of which most of them are Isoproturon (198), MCPA (159) and Metolachlor (139) (Table 4.4). 571 water bodies improved from failing to achieve good chemical status in the first RBMP as a result of these substances meeting the relevant standards (EEA 2018).
